1. EXPLOSION - was created by international music executive Darrin McGillis. The groups format consist of three members. The newest CD release entitled "Que No Se Detenga (Don't Let It Stop)" was written, mixed and produced by Papo Gely. Members included Josue, Caleb (also a former member of MDO/Menudo) and Joel (now solo on McGillis Records).
The group was born when thousands of teenage Puerto Ricans auditioned for a part of a new music group even before a name was selected. Darrin McGillis traveled from Mayaguez to Ponce and back to San Juan, Puerto Rico seeking three talented youths for the group. Joel was the only member that did not answer the advertisements seeking members of a new group. Josue who had been the first member selected for the group suggested Joel. At the time Joel was in Tampa, Florida, performing at the Puerto Rican festival. Darrin McGillis traveled with Joel's mother to Tampa to audition him. When Joel began to sing it was an instant yes. The last member Caleb was selected much later, in fact Joel and Josue had already started recording several songs for the CD. Caleb brought a different unique image to the line up. Josue was the only member who arrived in the group with previous professional experience in the entertainment business he was also two years older than Caleb and Joel.
The name of the group was selected by chance. While auditioning a singer in Puerto Rico his younger brother asked if we had a name for the group yet. Darrin McGillis replied "not yet" and asked if he had any suggestions? McGillis informed the youngster that he wanted a name that would be the same in English as in Spanish. The boy replied instantly "Explosion".
The first CD of Explosion was written and produced by Papo Gely the force behind Menudo's greatest hits. As you can see below Explosion has plans to continue to take music industry by storm. Watch for the first full length English CD of Explosion this summer.

The lyrics to Explosion's song "True or False" seem to be about the difficulty of navigating social pressures and expectations. The singer is feeling constrained by the changing trends and appearances that are expected of them, and has seen friends suffer as a result of these pressures. They pose the question "true or false, would you send your love" as a challenge to society's values and priorities. The idea of "letter bombs and ransom notes" suggests a radical approach to love - perhaps one that involves breaking free from societal norms and expectations.
As the song continues, the singer becomes more assertive, challenging those who would judge and stereotype others. They reject the idea of screaming the loudest or painting the picture red, instead advocating for a more authentic, meaningful way of being in the world. The line "meet the kids with nothing left" suggests a recognition of the pain and struggle that many people face, and a desire to connect with those who are marginalized or left behind by society.
The repeated refrain of "no no no no" adds a sense of urgency and frustration to the lyrics, as the singer struggles to make sense of a world that seems intent on perpetuating harmful attitudes and behaviors. Ultimately, the song seems to call for an end to appearances and a rejection of the false dichotomies that often shape our relationships and interactions with others.

This video is AI generated. How do we really know?

Why is this such a problem all of a sudden. Photoshop and composited images have been around for decades???? Stick AI in front of it and now the sky is falling.
BlueZaton
Exactly. But I guess the issue is you don't need any experience to do these types of images, and ai will generate more authentic looking images as time moves forward. Gives strong potential for bad actors to cause harm.

@BlueZaton It makes it easier for the hacks to lie better. But best to go with aged old advice "Don't go off half cocked" but in this reactionary age almost impossible.
